No, you can use the same mask on multiple objects
var sqr:SquareMC = new SquareMC();
var sqr2:SquareMC = new SquareMC();
var msk:MaskerMC = new MaskerMC();
sqr.mask = msk;
sqr2.mask = msk;

Hi, Fabio,
I believe it is only possible to mask with a single clip at any one time
using the DisplayObject.mask property (note that this accepts only type
DisplayObject and therefore does not accept Arrays, etc.). There is nothing
stopping you from making a composite sprite that contains all the clips you
want to make be a mask, though... except if you have other dependencies on
the visual tree not changing.
public function set
mask(value:DisplayObject<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLan
gRefV3/flash/display/DisplayObject.html>
):void<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/specialType
s.html#void>
